my auto electric skills are more than just a little bit rusty

having a problem with the AE71, the coil isn't producing any spark

trying replacing it with the same problem

so I'm assuming it's in the wiring pre coil

rather than stuffing around pulling the loom apart and trying to find the fault I'd like to just re-wire up the new coil independant of the original loom

 

can anyone tell me everything that needs to be wired up to the coil and which terminal it should come from (+) or (-)

 

thanks in advance

Dave

Check your points, I had my car do the same thing (4K though), the lobe work off the points and it wasn't opening the points when the dizzy cam came round to open them. if thats whats happened, make sure you grease the dizzy cam, helps prevent the points lobe from wearing down.

 

Hope this is of some assistance.

you need a multimeter, that will tell you if your wiring is f@$ked and if you're getting earth after the coil. they'll be on special at supercheap for 10 bucks, definately no more than 15

superjamie : as I said I'd already bought a new coil and tryed it

and I know how to use a multimeter I just wanted to know a basic diagram for wiring one completely independant of the original loom

 

but the motor ended up having more wrong with it than I thought when I actually got a few spare minutes to check it out so I'm just going to buy Teddy's spare motor and throw that in
